We have 22 teams again this season
and all teams have coaches once again. Our players and parents thank-you for volunteering!!
Check back here for announcements of coaches' meetings.

ONLINE Registration and Team Roster
Access

Affinity's ONLINE system supports
your registration as a coach. This new system will automatically submit your
BACKGROUND check. Only ONLINE-registered coaches can be assigned teams , so
please help us out and complete the process as soon as possible.

Special Note:Your will be required to input your
SSN. This is required by California to further search its
database and is only need if you've been convicted of any offense in
California including misdemeanor traffic violations. If this is not an issue,
please make sure that at least the last four numbers of your SSN are correct as
these will be used for reference.

Extreme Heat Guidelines

Please use the following heat
index guidelines for canceling practice. The heat index is a formula based
on temperature and humidity.

95 or above : Cancel U6, U8 & U9 practices

Above 99 : Cancel all
practices

Anytime the heat index reaches 90,
coaches should consider this as hot and must monitor players
closely making sure they have ample water and sufficient breaks. The
youngest players U6 through U9 are the most susceptible as they do not fully
perspire which provides natural cooling for the body.

Please educate yourself
on OSYA's guidelines for weather safety. For example, 96'F with 30% humidity
results in a Heat Index of over 95.

Coaching Clinics & Education

BYSA believes that each coach needs
to have the necessary education and understanding to teach our
players soccer using age-appropriate activities in a fun environment. This
year, BYSA is encouraging all of its coaches to attend one or more clinics
to further their understanding of player development. At a minimum, coaches
should familiar themselves with the training help available on OYSA Coaching
webpage. From this page, you may search the
database for the courses and signup for them directly.

programs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Boca Juniors - demonstrate how
the training activities are executed.
